Joining in, this discussion occurs ad-infinitum in various forums but I don't think it has shown anything significant about our grammar apart from what dubious fun it can attract. Thus, no point to it in my opinion, it’s just wasting your brain. I’d say find a distraction that has worth and don’t w...

For Comparison on the Mac standard telnet it looks like colour_telnet_mac.png And on the syncterm telnet superduper bbs client it looks like colour_telnet_syncterm.png I think we can get as good or better than mac telner client, syncterm is huge program (2.6MB) so wont get close to that. Have a furt...

Hmm progress. Although I am not quote sure what mode I should be in. Originally would run in 131 aka Mode Shadow. Initially I was expecting to run new 101/102 modes but I assume you have hacked the normal modes with attributs stuff? So to get 8 colour ansi I stick with mode 3/131? I have managed to ...

Fixed my storage issue. *VT102 NULA8COLOUR gives ROM &0 using extended vector error/warning currently Edit: But I kind of lost the plot where we were. It should now work on a Master with a tube copro? Edit2: Just to check I move ROM from 0 to 2 (no ROM 0 now), and removed the NULA ROM and get sa...

As an owner and frequent user of both JK internal master copro and the Pi on my master. I generally find that 16 is not much slow than the Pi running many times faster. I suspect memory or tube inerface is limiting factor on the software I am testing on. The JK version runs at 4,8,12 or 16Mhz from m...

I see. I read it, when I kicked the thread back to life a month ago, that Jason had done the prototype, but that is as far as it got, didnt realise there were several prototypes made and kicking about.

I wondered how Dave built a board so fast, so your are saying he cheated and already had it.

I expect it could have been done cheaper than the after market £99 but then that was 5 years later anyway, so maybe not. Say it was £100 that would have added 30% on the cost of the BBC B, When no other machine was doing that. I guess it might have made sense to do it on a master (shame they didnt) ...

That would have added a fair amount to the cost though. Assuming lots of extra ICs and such like, and therefore bigger MB or daughter board etc. Any one hazard a guess how much that would have added to the costs doing it 80s style in the 80s? Edit: Fixed some typos. Although you can see them in Rob'...

Apparently mosquitoes hate lemon eucalyptus oil and won't go anywhere near it. As stated by RobGT earlier in the thread in regards to his wife using Vicks Vapour Rub to keep the little so & so's at bay, guess what it contains??? Yep, lemon eucalyptus oil So perhaps there's your solution ... gro...

You are probably onto a loser. As you say they are active when you are asleep. So hearing them doesn't help. I can still hear them, even though I am old,but that does really help as they get me when asleep. Repellants, screens and nets are the only solution know to be effective. If we come up with s...
